Dear Fleur Family,
We are considering switching our flea, tick, and heartworm prevention products from Simparica Trio to Bravecto and Sentinel Spectrum for dogs, and from Revolution Plus to Bravecto Plus for cats. However, we want to hear your feedback before making this decision.
There are several reasons why we are considering this switch:
- Product Performance: We have been impressed by the performance of Bravecto and Sentinel products. In a recent study, it was found that Bravecto chews are highly effective, with dogs being 100% free of ticks over a month-long study, while Simparica Trio was less effective in comparison.
- Convenience: Bravecto for dogs only needs to be given every 8-12 weeks, reducing the frequency compared to the monthly Simparica Trio. Sentinel Spectrum for dogs would still need to be given monthly, but it protects your pets against a much wider array of intestinal parasites than Simparica Trio does. For cats, Bravecto Plus only needs to be given every other month, instead of the monthly Revolution Plus.
- Cost Savings: Merck, the manufacturer of these products, offers amazing rebates that make these products more affordable. For dogs, there is a $75 rebate for a year's supply of Bravecto and Sentinel Spectrum; and your monthly cost would be approximately 7% lower than Simparica Trio, saving you up to $100 annually. For cats, there is a $25 rebate for a year's supply of Bravecto Plus and the product is of similar pricing to Revolution Plus but with less frequent administration.
- Client Satisfaction and Guarantees: Bravecto and Sentinel Spectrum chews are just as palatable as Simparica Trio, so your dogs will still enjoy them as a treat. Theyโll also be better protected against fleas, ticks, and intestinal parasites. Bravecto Plus for cats is a topical solution just like Revolution Plus is, so the only change for cat owners is that you wouldn't need to administer it as often! Merck also has a 100% guarantee, so if you are unsatisfied with any of these products, Merck offers a 100% refund.
